Girls can think about nothing, too

This weekend, awkward moments experienced a sharp jump in activity. But, before I delve into those tales, let's take a look back to November, a time when awkward moments were mercifully only a weekly occurrence.

My boss gave me free tickets to the Alaska Aces hockey game, and I invited my two guy friends. The game had gone on without a hitch, save for that one awkward moment when one of the guys I brought along suddenly blurted out, “Why am I here?
Aren’t you engaged?!”

But nevermind him.

After the hockey game, my other
friend (who does not think I am engaged) and I walked back to ours cars. I
didn’t notice that we weren’t speaking until he said, “What are you thinking
about?” which led to a mild internal panic attack.

Did
he just ask ‘What are you thinking about?’ I thought only girls asked that
question.
